The Cardinal Rule

Tantoo Cardinal and Tinsel Korey in Mothers and Daughters

Clifford Cardinal, in a still from Go. Get. Dad.

I finished my final paper deadlines just in time on Friday to head over to the late show Mothers and Daughters playing at the Royal Cinema. The Indie Canadian flick featured both Tantoo Cardinal and Tinsel Korey so despite the bad reviews I just had to check it out.

Korey is the Aborginal actress who beat me (and about ten thousand others) out and landed the role as Emily in The Twilight Saga: New Moon. So of course I wanted to see her on the big screen and figure out how I can brush up on my acting chops so I can land a big role like that too.

First scene I saw was with Tantoo Cardinal and her son, Clifford. I was totally stoked because I just did a short film called Go. Get. Dad, directed by Adam Garnet Jones where he and I co-star. So I am watching Clifford on the big screen and kinda freaking out because I will be sharing a big screen with him soon.

Back to the movie, it was an awesome flick that both me and my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed. The drama weaves the tale of three seperate relationships of mothers and daughters (or a facsimilie as with Tantoo and Tinsel) in a documentary style format that reminded me of a more fun version of Rachel Getting Married.

It is playing at The Royal now so be sure to check it out and support some Indigenous actors on the big screen.
